Advance Footwork - Pendulum Step 🥊

This week's theme at Santa Cruz Boxing is advanced footwork.

We'll be working on the pendulum step, quarter turns, dominating angles, check hooks, and the Tyson shuffle.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that footwork doesn't work very well when you "kind of" do it.

You can't halfway create an angle.

You can't halfway pivot.

You can't halfway commit to a check hook.

You either move your feet or you don't.

The funny thing is that lesson applies outside the gym too.

Most people think boxing is about punches. Experienced boxers know it's often about position.

The same is true in life.

Sometimes the difference between success and frustration isn't working harder. It's taking one step to the side and seeing things from a different angle.

This week, don't just throw punches.

Move your feet.

Create better angles.

See what opens up.

We are in your corner.
